Audience Reviews for First Dog

Charming family movie! Watched this at Little Rock Film Festival with a full audience (around 300 people). Everyone cried and laughed, a real feel-good movie! The best family movie we've seen in a long time. If you have a heart -- you'll love love this movie!

Chuck Brown

*1/2 (out of four)
Syrupy, silly, and overly hokey, "First Dog" fails to make the audience believe any of its watered down and all-too-precious plotline.
Eric Roberts is the beloved President of the U.S. His dog, Teddy has gotten away from him during and assassination attempt in California. On his own the dog meets up with an orphan who decides to travel across the coutry to return the dog to his owner.
Tries too hard to be cute. It only looks silly.
